Exodia is one of the most iconic monsters in all of Yu-Gi-Oh! the franchise. Ever since the first time Yugi assembled all five pieces and demolished Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragon, being able to replicate the same effect in-game has always been exciting.

Here are the best sets from the GX era in Yu-Gi-Oh!
This monster can get quite expensive due to how iconic the cards are, but also the fact that you need five pieces to make it work. There are also some valuable cards that make Exodia a powerhouse in the metagame. If you want to hit your opponent with the ultimate skill and rarity flex, there's also a way to build the most expensive Exodia of all time.
Card values reflect those found on TCG Player.com and may change over time.

Millennium Ankh Quarter Century Secret Rare $45.69
Calling the Forbidden One
The biggest problem with Exodia decks is that most of the time there isn't an Exodia monster that can be brought out. The TCG's Infinite Forbidden set changed this by introducing a Fusion version of Exodia that could be unleashed with the power of the Millennium Ankh.
This spellbook already looks great, but it looks even more mystical in a rare quarter-century-old print. With this card, you can stylishly summon The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate, showing the five pieces of Exodia to your opponent.
9
The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate $56.99
Dazzling and unstoppable
The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate is an interesting take on the legendary monster as it also takes a few notes from both the manga and anime. It requires the Millennium Ankh to summon and is only as powerful as the player using it.

Just like the manga, it will deplete your life essence, or in this case, life points by 1000 in each of your waiting phases. Then gain attack based on how much you have left. So anything that increases your hit points will only make this monster stronger. This quarter-century-old pattern can be found in the Forbidden Infinite Set.

Left Leg of the Forbidden Starlight Rare $93.86
A piece of the puzzle
Battles of Legend: Crystal Revenge includes every piece of Exodia as part of the rare Starlight range. This gives the cards a premium look that shines through on both the card art and the card body. This makes them easy to spot when you pull one out of a pack as they stand out.
If you plan to build an Exodia made up of only the most expensive parts, then this is one of the easier cards to get a proper set. Regardless, having all five pieces as starlight rares is a neat flexibility due to how hard they are to collect.
7
Right Arm of the Forbidden Starlight Rare $105.64
A good right hook
Right Arm of the Forbidden One is the other piece that was released in Battles of Legend: Crystal Revenge, set as a star rarity. Once again, it's very easy to spot, but difficult to find in a package.

This is another Starlight rare that you have to rule out if you really want to build the most expensive Exodia, as there is a much rarer print. Retro cards that get rarity hits are always neat, and none deserve the premium treatment more than Exodia pieces.
6
Left Arm of the Forbidden Starlight Rare $107.56
An expensive left hand
If you want to give your opponent the old one-two, you'll need a left hand. The Forbidden's Left Hand can be found as a rare starlight in Battles of Legend: Crystal Revenge.
It wouldn't be the same if you didn't have everything in the right rarity. For collectors, this means getting the right color scheme, foil and ID numbers set. That's how you can really get the perfect Exodia, even if it can get a little expensive to get them all.
5
Right Leg of the Forbidden Starlight Rare $130.03
Good thing you only need one
Give your Exodia an extra kick in the rarity department by including a Forbidden Right Leg from the Battles of Legend: Crystal Revenge set. This Starlight Rare can do the same thing as a regular print, but it's that extra sparkle that makes it worth it.

Secret Rare Items Yu-Gi-Oh! from Quarter Century are expensive, but maybe not as much as you might think.
The good thing about the more expensive Exodia parts is that you only want one of each. So unlike other cards where you need three to have a playset at max rarity, just one will do the trick. This is the case even before the cards are limited.

Exodia The Forbidden One Dark Duel Stories $200.60
A unique discovery
Dark Duel Stories for the Game Boy Color was released with two sets of three cards. The most popular set includes Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Exodia the Forbidden One. All of these were printed as Prismatic Secret Rares.
Of course, it is difficult to find a copy of it in good condition. So much so that unsealed copies of the game can become expensive just for the trading cards found inside. This is why it's always good to keep promo cards, even if you don't have to open multiple boxes to find them.
3
Exodia The Forbidden One $262.96
Don't lose your head
Your Exodia pieces wouldn't do anything unless you had a copy of Exodia the Forbidden One. This is the book that has the text that explains the alternative win condition. This head is the final puzzle piece in the Battles of Legend: Crystal Revenge set.

Despite not being the most expensive Exodia set, this is the rarest you can go before parts start to become harder to come by. The main advantage of getting the ones from Crystal Revenge is that they were reprinted in a set rather than an elusive booster pack.

The Forbidden One's Left Leg $299.95
Bring your friends to Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Duel Academy was released in 2006 and a special pack gave players everything they needed to learn how to play the game. This includes a Game Boy Advance copy of the game, a tutorial DVD, a starter pack, some booster packs based on Chazz Princeton and Jaden Yuki, as well as a full set of Exodia cards.
However, this makes these Exodia cards hard to find. Finding them second-hand is quite difficult, getting a note is an even harder task to accomplish even for the left of the forbidden.

Right Arm of the Forbidden One $349.99
I'm selling an arm and a leg
You'll have to sell an arm and a leg to get the banned one's right arm in the GX Ultimate Beginner Pack. While most of these were given as gifts, very few now remain in good condition.
After all, trading cards were meant to be played, and even rare cards are no exception when you first get them as a kid. It's only years later that you realize the amazing discovery you've made. If you're lucky, you might find a few of these books in your binder without ever realizing that this is the book everyone wants.
